The way to see Sicily - Easy pickup from cruise ship port. Vehicle was excellent and Luca made the trip very enjoyable. We were dropped off at close and convenient locations along the tour. Honey tasting was a surprise stop and so good. We definitely recommend taking a private tour versus the very large bus tours! Thank you for a great day in Sicily!

Wonderful driver, wonderful experience! - The driver was on time, waited for us near the port and walked us to where the van was parked so it was a super easy pickup. The van was clean and comfortable. Our driver told us stories and historical facts as we drove that were interesting and entertaining. He stopped at very cool, interesting landmarks, shops and towns. All in all a great time!

Loved this experience - Tania and Carmelo were amazing. Tania lives on Etna and her family has one of the businesses near the Sylvestri crater. She had excellent recommendations and they both outdid themselves sneaking in visits to a couple spots in Catania before dropping us back at the port.

Mt Etna tour - Our guide, Luigi, was very knowledgeable and was able to share history on the area. He made recommendations for travel and shared his extensive insight. He was a safe driver and made sure we had a great time. Would not hesitate to use this company again for additional travel. Communication was easy and efficient.

Exceptional tour - This was an exceptional tour with Daniel. He gave us informative facts on way to Mount Etna and led us and directed us regarding tickets. Mount Etna was very impressive to see. Also cold on the top. We then stopped for a honey and wine tasting before going to Taormina. We had an excellent meal there as well as views and time for some shopping. Daniels English was very good and easy to understand. This was the best tour my wife and I had on our 2 week visit to Italy

Fabulous view and an even more fabulous driver! - I wish I could remember the name of our driver, he was absolutely fabulous and really made this tour special for my family. Not only did he know all the best spots to get views from, he also was kind and funny. I'm a little unstable and a natural born clutz. He sensed my nervousness at walking around the crater and he accompanied me all around.
Some of the views and locations really look like they come from another world. Getting the opportunity to see these up close and personal with no time constraint was completely worthwhile. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes to take their time and really enjoy the scenery.

Great tour service in Catania !! - Great guide!! Great service! I highly recommend this tour!! We started in Milan and then travelled to Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, and Capri. We did tours in those cities with other companies and this company on this tour provided better service and a better time!!
